Pace Gallery is pleased to present 'Kenneth Noland. Into the Cool', a survey of never before exhibited works from the end of the groundbreaking artist?s life. These paintings, completed in a subtle color palette, present a new approach to both material and technique. An extension of his earlier work, the artist?s last series shows him having achieved a mastery of his medium. The catalogue includes a reproduction of the entire series of 18 paintings and an essay by William C. Agee. 0Together these works reveal the emotional effects and expressive potential of color and form, while outlining the artist?s commitment to the possibilities of abstraction. Returning to his use of the circle, emphasis on the center, and expressive, gestural brush strokes, the paintings show Noland focused on his application of paint. Continuing to use his technique, established in the 1950s, of staining unsized raw canvas with acrylic paint, here Noland has expanded upon it by not only painting the front surface of the canvas, but also working from behind. This modification in process highlights the artist?s painterly abilities, as well as his constant experimentation. 00Exhibition: Pace Gallery, New York, USA (26.01.-04.03.2017).… (more)
